  • Mostly sunny
  • Low tide at 11:31 am: more sand
  • Feels like 60 °F: chilly for the beach
  • Moderate onshore wind (14 mph): choppy water
  • Dangerous for swimming: 8.1 ft waves every 12 s; high rip current risk
  • Water at 64 °F (cold)

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 8.1 ft

    8.1 ft waves every 12 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 64 °F

    Cold: ease in slowly.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 2 · SPF 15

  • Tide & sand 11:48 pm

    Low tide at 11:31 am and 11:48 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 5:19 am and 5:45 pm. Coefficient 98 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:30 pm to 6:40 pm, combines the 5:45 pm high tide, sunset and a light onshore breeze. Also worth a try from 10:30 am to 11:20 am, with the 11:31 am low tide, moonset and a light onshore breeze, though with rising pressure. Also good from 10:50 pm to 12:00 am, with the 11:48 pm low tide, falling pressure and a light onshore breeze.

Species with the most records nearby: small-spotted catshark, Atlantic horse mackerel, European hake and European conger. October is one of the months when these are seen most: small-spotted catshark. What you can catch

The water rises and falls 12.6 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Sea and waves

The sea at Bikini Beach

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: moderate

Moderate Douglas 4 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 7.9 ft · 11.3 s from the northwest (319°)
Swell 7.6 ft · 9.9 s from the northwest
Current 0.5 mph toward the NW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common4.0 ft
  • Significant7.9 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest16 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 16 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 16 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph E · gusts 17

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 8.2 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 7:16 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and glassy water, though with big surf.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 5:30 pm to 6:10 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with a big swell and current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:38–3:38 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:09–4:09 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:17–11:17 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:56–7:56 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.25 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.35 mi.

From the shoreline (1,300 ft from Bikini Beach) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.25 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.5 mi from shore.
